Two trucks headed by the Azerbaijan Red Crescent on the Aghdam road to Artsakh arrived on the Aghdam-Stepanakert road. Baku announced that these trucks contained 40 tons of flour for the residents of Stepanakert. According to Azerbaijani mass media, they are negotiating with Russian peacekeepers and have set up tents on the road.
